He's describing how in order to get funding for these games, the funders make demands of "you need to hire a DEI officer or you don't get our money." He's saying the quiet part very loudly.
Haven't chuds been saying this is happening behind the scenes for years and shitlibs have been denying it?

I thought BlackRock was pretty open about their ESG requirements.

Libshits still pretend ESG isn't real (and if it was, it'd be a good thing!)

There is this weird thing where conspiracy theorists constantly act like people don't believe them and they are uncovering clandestine machinations. Meanwhile, Blackrock has a whole Commitment to DEI page.

It's not that it's clandestine. It's the motte-bailey bullshit that happens when you try explaining it to someone and the lengths they go to dismissing something as a nothing-burger until it's so blatant that they can't any more. Even something as simple as "Yes, this colossal company chose sweeping top-down social change over profit" is like squeezing blood from a stone.

But who is denying it? Blackrock is open about ESG. The only thing I've seen people claim is that ESG is just as/more profitable, but I haven't seen anyone deny that Blackrock is doing what Blackrock is clearly advertising they are doing to accolades from the typical progressive places.

I gave up bickering with people online a long time ago so I can only speak for offline. The above was my experience, albeit in a more polite and much less editorialized manner, while discussing vidya layoffs with some people a few months ago.
Admittedly I'm not a particularly articulate person so it's possible I'm the problem but there's a level of absurdity to things we take for granted that people who don't waste their time online haven't encountered yet. On its face "Blackrock is turning my vidya diverse" is just so absurd that it's filed as forget next to whatever other sewage the terminally online have dredged up that day and given a denial because that's insane, they can't possibly actually do that, companies hiring like that would open themselves to a lawsuit, companies wouldn't alienate their own customers intentionally, no DEI doesn't really mean what you think it's actually x y and x, etc

I think it's because most people think the funders are normal people just like them, and not out of touch r-slurs
